You know those 3D/4D ultrasounds? (medical specialist people)?

we are thinking about doing it after we have our regular ultrasound with our Dr. but i read an article on msnbc saying that the FDA is trying to stop that, they say they dont know the long term effects and what not, it sounds like they are more concern about people that do it and not go to the Dr. none the less has anyone heard or know of anything bad that may happen?

    The issue with 3D/4D ultrasounds isn't that they are known to be dangerous, just that there is nothing known about their long term side effects. When it comes to pregnancy, most docs choose to be cautious and not do anything unless it has been proven safe. These ultrasounds have not been proven safe or dangerous, there is just not enough known about them.
